It's not just the attacks, Ivanhoe (and I don't agree with you -Shepherds are all walking timebombs in my humble opinon) - I have had the misfortune of living near people who own Shepherds. I found that neither I, my wife nor my children could even walk into our back yard without some aggressive creature roaring (like only a shepherd can do) up against the fence. Peaceful enjoyment of our own yard was just bloody impossible - all because some selfish oaf insisted on owning a paranoid bloody animal that saw a threat everywhere beyond its limited world (IE - the oaf's backyard). Complaining to these oafs is just a waste of time - and if you want to know why - then read some of the loony toon submissions to this thread.
